‘Cervical cancer remains a health concern’

CERVICAL cancer has remained a public health worry with its effects taking a toll on Zimbabwe amid concerns over laxity in the presentation of cases, Health and Child Care minister Douglas Mombeshora has said.

Mombeshora was speaking during the cervical cancer elimination initiative meeting on Sunday this week.

The meeting was also graced by World Health Organisation (WHO) officials who were in Zimbabwe to map the way forward in eradicating cervical cancer which is a leading cause of death in women.
